About State of Youth
State of Youth is here to empower young people aged 12 to 29 by building a global platform for leadership and changemaking. We give you the opportunity to engage and act on themes related to the United Nations' Suistainable Development Goals (SDGs) and guided by children's rights principles.
Founded by KidsRights in 2019 at the World Summit of Nobel Peace Laureates in Mexico, State of Youth is a worldwide grassroots movement created for youth, by youth. We provide young people with the tools, resources, and global connections necessary to tackle the most urgent challenges facing the world today.
Why Join State of Youth? Become a leader of change!
Joining State of Youth means becoming a leader of change. We empower you to take charge and lead by creating your own State of Youth Chapter or join an existing Chapter. Chapters are powerful groups of two or more young people who share a passion for tackling challenges and making a difference in their communities. By starting a Chapter, you will have the chance to take action and speak out on local issues that matter to you.
About KidsRights
KidsRights works with children to create a world in which their rights are guaranteed and they are enabled to realize their great potential. KidsRights is convinced that realizing children’s rights more effectively calls for the perspective, experience and authority of children themselves.
